Meet Eric and Pedro, Annoushka’s new bejewelled dog charms

What would you do if you're a jewellery designer crazy about dogs, and 2018 celebrates the year of the dog in the Chinese Zodiac?

Yup, you would seize this opportunity to create dog-themed jewellery. So it should come as no surprise that Annoushka, a jewellery creator favoured by even Duchess Kate Middleton, bejewelled her two beloved French bulldogs Eric and Pedro as 18-carat gold charms to add on to her whimsy-meets-symbolism Mythology collection.

Eric has been lovingly crafted from freshwater black pearl and features 18K yellow gold ears and a sapphire-studded collar, while Pedro's freshwater white pearl head boasts pavéd brown diamond ears and a diamond-studded collar. The dog is regarded as an auspicious animal in Chinese culture and people born in the year of the Earth Dog tend to be very friendly and loyal, just like Pedro and Eric.
